The new virgin advert? Stuck in the past?

Did no one else find this advert unbelievably sexist? :frown:

I guess it's a sign feminism is really losing out, we're regressing way beyond the 90s. Irony, a joke - I say cowardly and not on!

no, I did not, I saw it for what it was - a look back at what virgin was like when it started flying, in order to celebrate its anniversary, rather than reading a sexist subtext to it that is not there.

It's disgraceful. How can they portray men as being so obsessed with attractive women like that? It's so sexist it's unbelievable. I mean, some men are gay, for a start.

No.

MSB it doesn't portray women or men in a good light

It's not sexist.

God I'm so angry right now fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

It'd be more realistic if it was filmed in a kitchen. *Runs and hides*

Nope.

It's not about being equal :o:

It's about how portraying women like this when everyday they're objectified to sell comodities is hardly a joke

It's received huge criticism apparently :/

I really don't get the new AVIA/ Norwich Union one. Well yeah I do, but seriously did they need Bruce Willis to flog insurance. It's such a weird thing to get a celebrity endorsement for :s-smilie:

Seriously shut up, if a woman ever said that to my face I'd quite probably just grope her or something, just to annoy her further. The advert is not sexist in a million years.
